FBI raids home of reporter investigating the Trump admin. I HOPE THEY DIDN'T TOUCH THE PANTY DRAWER!!!!! [View all]

The Washington Post reported that the sweep of the Harvard graduate’s house and the seizure of her devices followed the paper’s investigation into “a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials.” Natanson was reportedly told she was not the focus of the investigation.

The warrant said law enforcement was investigating Aurelio Perez-Lugones, a Maryland-based systems administrator with a top secret security clearance, who is accused of improperly accessing classified intelligence reports and removing them from secure facilities, with documents later found in his lunchbox and basement, according to an FBI affidavit.

Kash Patel’s tenure as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been marked by high-profile gaffes. Patel, whom the Daily Beast has nicknamed ‘Keystone Kash’ for his bungling performance, was criticized for rushing to social media to tout his agency’s work on tracking down a person of interest in the Charlie Kirk shooting prematurely.

After the shooting, Patel reportedly refused to get off a plane without an FBI raid jacket and ended up wearing one nabbed from a female officer. He reportedly decorated it with patches from other agents.
